Capital Market
A capital market is a financial market that facilitates the exchange of long-term debt and equity-backed securities. It provides companies with access to capital for expansion and other corporate purposes, while providing investors with a wide range of investment opportunities.
The primary players in the capital markets are large institutional investors, such as banks, insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds, hedge funds, and sovereign wealth funds. These institutions invest in securities issued by companies or governments in order to generate returns. The most common types of securities traded on the capital markets are stocks and bonds. Stocks represent ownership in a company and provide investors with a share of the company’s profits or losses. Bonds represent an agreement between an issuer and an investor that obligates the issuer to pay periodic interest payments and to repay the principal amount at maturity.
In addition to providing companies and investors with access to capital, the capital markets are also important for economic growth. By channeling savings into productive investments, they help drive economic growth and create jobs. They also provide liquidity for investors by allowing them to easily buy and sell securities without having to wait for buyers or sellers to be matched up manually. Finally, they provide information about the financial health of companies to potential investors, allowing them to make informed decisions about where to invest their money.
